A Nuckelavee (noo-keh-LAA-vee; Sc.Gael. Nuckelavee) is a horse-like Wesen that appears in "Quill" and "The Good Shepherd". Their appearance resembles that of a skinless horse's head with black blood pulsing through transparent veins, and muscles and sinews visible. One is sent by the Royal Families to get Nick's Key. When morphed, they have a long mane of hair, horse-like teeth, grayed skin, and hooves. Nuckelavee are a physically strong Wesen species and able to hold their own against a Grimm, however Nick Burkhardt was able to defeat one in melee combat (albeit using a sledgehammer). Nuckelavee are also a quick and stealthy species. When attacking in their Wesen forms Nuckelavee use their hoof-like hands (all the fingers with the exception of the thumbs) as blunt weapons, which combined with their impressive strength are at least capable of leaving large dents in the outer hull of car trailers.
Trivia
- It appears to be based off the Nuckelavee in Orcadian folklore.
- Compared to Hundjager and Mauvais Dentes, the Nuckelavee seems much more honorable in that it only goes after the intended target, and leaves all bystanders unharmed, as seen when Hargrund left Juliette alone after realizing that the key wasn't in her house. However, this may be because they prefer to be stealthy.
- It is the first Wesen to have its name taken from the Scottish Gaelic language.
